CHESS Health Receives $1.5 Million Grant to Enhance eIntervention with more SBIRT Functionality

CHESS Health, the leading provider of comprehensive addiction management technology, has received a fast-track grant of $1.5 million from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The goal of the grant, identified as 1R44DA050214, is to improve the rate at which those at risk of substance use disorder (SUD), or who require SUD treatment, actually follow through on recommendations following screening in a primary care setting.

Read related news here.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/eat-2-win-sports-nutrition-app-fills.html

CHESS Health's innovative eIntervention solution, launched in 2019, is currently deployed at dozens of medical and addiction providers nationwide, ranging from hospitals to MAT clinics to full-continuum behavioral health providers. The web-based solution automates referrals for treatment and wrap-around services through closed-loop provider-to-provider communications. In addition, eIntervention uniquely engages the patient throughout the transition of care through its companion Envoy app, which offers the patient real-time referral details, informative and motivating video content, and secure messaging with their providers.

The NIDA grant will fund the enhancement of the Envoy app to deliver targeted interventions to individuals reporting risky use of substances, but who have not yet developed full-onset SUD requiring treatment. Kathleen Carroll, PhD, the Albert E Kent Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine, will lead a panel of SBIRT experts in designing the preventative interventions to be added to the Envoy app. SBIRT is the clinical practice of screening for substance use, brief intervention and referral to treatment.

In order to streamline the administrative process, the grant is presented in two phases. For both phases, CHESS Health will collaborate with Cherry Health, the largest Federally Qualified Health Center in Michigan. In Phase 1, Cherry Health will conduct a usability trial of the Envoy app for patients referred to treatment for substance use disorder. In Phase 2, Cherry Health will conduct a randomized clinical trial of the effectiveness of the Envoy app in increasing successful referrals to treatment and in reducing substance use among those reporting risky use but not requiring treatment.

"This NIDA grant will enable us to add prevention functionality to our current addiction treatment technology platform, which already includes smartphone-delivered evidence-based treatment and recovery support, digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and referral to treatment," says Hans Morefield, chief executive officer of CHESS Health. "At CHESS, addressing the personal and societal crisis of addiction is foremost on our minds – preventing addiction is the next frontier."

Cherry Health's interest in the proposal was spurred by its commitment to fully integrate health services with substance use disorders and mental illness into its primary care mission as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC).

"SBIRT is a terrific practice, but it is not enough when it comes to improving patient adherence to treatment referrals," says Leslie Pelkey, MD, and chief medical officer of Cherry Health. "That's why we're very interested in this initiative to improve health outcomes, and the overall patient experience by making SBIRT actionable." Read related news now.

"We have two goals with this grant," explained Dr. Carroll. "We want to double the current rate of follow-up specialty SUD care from approximately 17 percent to an achieved rate of at least 35 percent, and we want to measure a reduction in substance use among all patients that get the Envoy app. If we achieve these goals, this effort will be an important milestone in applying technology to the prevention of addiction."

About CHESS Health
CHESS Health creates innovative solutions designed at the intersection of science, technology and recovery. Founded by nationally recognized substance abuse researcher Dr. Dave Gustafson, CHESS developed A-CHESS, the leading evidence-based relapse prevention technology. By integrating A-CHESS into treatment plans, providers can best support those in recovery with access to predictive relapse analytics, condition-specific content and access to live support, which reduces relapse by 50% while decreasing costs and saving lives. The recent addition of eReferral capability prior to treatment, and an eTherapy functionality during treatment, creates an industry-leading technology platform to support the full continuum of care. CHESS Health has received recognition from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP), the Journal of Substance Abuse, and the Surgeon General.

Oak City Greetings Launches Kickstarter Campaign

Let's Set The Scene... Continue reading.

There they are, dedicated loving husbands and fathers, standing in the crowded greeting card aisle of the local drug store or big box store for the 100th time, dreading buying a card for their wife for whatever special occasion is rapidly approaching. In the most likely scenario, they forgot today was *insert important occasion* and they're already behind the eight ball. They take those last few precious minutes before heading home and suddenly feel overwhelmed by all the choices.

He picks up the first card…EIGHT DOLLARS?!..He puts it back. The next card…SEVEN DOLLARS?! He puts it back. Much to his dismay, it doesn't get better after the tenth card he picks up. He gives up and goes back to the first one he looked at. By this time, the wife has called him because he's now late for the *insert special occasion* dinner date.

Sound Familiar? Husbands and fathers alike, doing their best to try to make their wife feel special, but something so simple as a greeting card, makes special occasions so cringe worthy!

Oak City Greetings knew there had to be a better way...and that's how it began.

It's simple. Oak City Greetings does THREE SMALL BUT CRUCIAL THINGS…

Save Time…Save Money…and Save Your Backside

BUT HOW?!

Save Time... They have all the greeting cards needed for each special occasion for two years.

Save Money… Cards are priced at $2.50 per card, this is roughly $3 to $5 less than cards purchased in the store.

Save Your Backside…Never again will someone forget to buy their wife a card for a special occasion. And, for those not so special occasions, they've even included I'm Sorry and Thinking of You cards. They've thought of everything.

"Spreading the word about this product and how it's helping husbands and fathers is important and that's why a Kickstarter Campaign was the right fit for us." says Paul, CEO of Oak City Greetings. This campaign is focused on creating and producing fourteen greeting cards which make up the inaugural box set, the Sweetheart Collection.

The card quality is as good or better than any in the industry. Each design is printed in four-color process on a heavy 14pt. felt cover cream-colored card stock. The Foil printed greeting cards are printed on a heavy 14pt. felt cover cream-colored card stock and finished with foil printed elements. The inside verses are also printed in full color and match the coloration of the image on the front of the card. The inside of the cards are uncoated, to allow for a personal handwritten message.

Here is a list of how the fourteen cards will breakdown by Category:
Valentine's Day - 2 Designs
Happy Birthday - 2 Designs
Happy Anniversary - 2 Designs
Mother's Day - 2 Designs
Thinking Of You - 2 Designs
I'm Sorry - 4 Designs (Yes, that is correct, 4 I'm Sorry Cards. You know you'll need them!)

Each card has a unique design, a pre-printed inside verse, and is paired with a colorful matching envelope – creating a special and unique package greeting card for each occasion. The Anniversary, Birthday, Valentine's Day, and Mother's Day cards feature foil printed elements for an added touch. Thinking of You and I'm Sorry cards are printed in full color process.

Visit the Kickstarter Campaign today to learn more and get involved.
